Oh ok…. So the .250” Quick Connect refers to these guys.  


 

I would have called it an F2 terminal.  

 

Schneider has CAD drawings of their relay, and the pin sockets are 0.252” wide. 
 Spacing is a perfect match for the TE relay.  After finding CAD drawings from 
Schneider it looks like the length of the blade on a Schneider KU relay and the 
TE relay are within tenths of a millimeter.  Length of an F2 terminal is also 
very close.  I’m thinking none of this is not an accident. 

 

Also interesting: A Schneider catalog refers to the KU relay terminals as 
“Faston type” terminals.   Faston was the previous name of TE.  There must be 
some kind of standards at work; either from a standards body or because they 
all settled on something over time.

 

Unfortunately, yes you’re right, that exact model appears to have a flange to 
bolt it down sideways.  I’ll have to hunt for another one, but I’m feeling 
better about getting parts that’ll fit each other.  It looks like all of these 
devices with 11 flat spade terminals in a rectangular pattern are going to fit 
each other.

Looks like crimp on quick connect terminals.  

Has mounting tabs for screwing the whole relay to a flat surface.  

 

I am guessing the plug in refers to the quick connect terminals.

Subject: [AFMUG] Power relay sockets and mount types

 

I’m not as familiar with these things as I would like.

 

I’m looking at this data sheet for a power relay at Mouser:

https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/418/9/ENG_DS_1308242_KUHP_0914_KUHP_0914-3344401.pdf

 

In the bottom right corner on the first page it says “no sockets are available 
for this relay”.  TE’s web site refers to it as a “Panel” mount type and 
“Plug-in” connection type.  So it sure looks and sounds like it should plug 
into some kind of socket.  After a lot of screwing around I think I’ve 
determined that the pins and dimensions look incredibly similar to 
SquareD/Schneider K-Type sockets.  

 

Is this a situation where TE is making a product compatible with the 
SquareD/Schneider socket, but can’t refer to the that socket because it’s 
someone else’s intellectual property?  And am I supposed to just know by 
looking that it’s a “K Type” socket?  I think I’ve figured this out, I guess 
I’m looking for confirmation or correction.
